Sculpture Walk
November 4-27
Blind Willie McTell Trail
Statesboro
Reception: Nov. 4, 5-7 p.m. at the Business Innovation Group (BIG) (58 E. Main St., Statesboro)
During the reception, guests are invited to park downtown and take a shuttle to the beginning of the trail. Then, enjoy a stroll along the trail to see each sculpture, with the walk ending at BIG.
The Sculpture Walk is an outdoor art exhibition and online silent auction that features a collection of vibrant steel sculptures designed by students in Casey Schachner’s 3D Art & Design Foundations courses.
In this collection of works, students were challenged to use a two-dimensional square piece of steel to create a three-dimensional object. This was achieved by cutting the square into multiple facets that cannot be removed but instead folded and shaped in multiple directions creating a “sculpture in the round.” The students are studying how point, line, plane, and volume all work together to interact with their surroundings. This is further enhanced through the use of surface considerations and, in this case specifically, color.
Each steel sculpture has been powder-coated to help preserve the sculpture for years of enjoyment.
Join us on Nov. 4 from 5-7 p.m. as we kick off the Sculpture Walk at the Business Innovation Group (BIG) in Downtown Statesboro. Place a bid on your favorite piece through a virtual auction, which runs the length of the exhibition ending on Nov. 26 at 6 p.m.
